new Species of \\\stcr'u\ai. 207 



cxtus simrso punctate : pypdio dense occUato-punct.ito ; prostorno 

 lato ; tibiis anticis 4-dentatis. 

 L. 10 mill, (absque mandibulis), 



Oblon<;-oval, depressed, black and shining ; the head 

 smooth, impressed between the mandibles ; mentum in male 

 concave and smooth, not carinate : the thorax, lateral stria 

 complete and similar to that of //. Bauhiiji^ Mars. ; there is 

 a band ot tine, not consjiicuous, punctures scattered along the 

 sides ; the anterior angle has a small emargination and close 

 to tlie emargination tiiere is a deep oval, somewhat oblique, 

 fossette : the elytra, lateral furrow widest in the middle and 

 abbieviated a little before and behind; striae, first dorsal is 

 one fourth of the clytral length and has a short bent apijendage, 

 second shoiter, not quite half the length of the first : the pro- 

 pygidiuni is sparsely punctured on the outer edges, but not 

 at the base ; the pygidium is densely and ocellately punctate, 

 with the posterior border narrowly smooth ; the prosternal 

 keel is broad and scarcely narrowed at or before the coxae. 



This insect is very similar to //. Baulnyi, Mars., but it 

 differs from it in the thoracic auriculiform fovea being deeper, 

 more circular in outline, and in its position being nearer the 

 angular emargination, the apical elytral stria is bent, not 

 straight, and the pygidium is distinctly ocellately punctured. 



Huh. Borneo. 



Ilololepta syntexisj sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovata, subdcpressa, nigra, nitida; fronte inconspicue bi- 

 striata ; pronoto inipunctato, stria laterali in angnlo antico desi- 

 nente ; el} tris striis 1-2 brevibus, 3 vix conspicua ; propygidio 

 apice bifovcolato, puiictis sparsis late cincto. 



L. b mill, (absque mandibulis). 



Oblong-oval, depressed, black and shining; the forehead 

 smooth, with two very short, almost obsolete, transverse 

 strife, cJ mentum with a short but distinct carina ; the 

 thorax is inipunctate, marginal stria very fine, lateral stria 

 well marked, especially at the anterior angles, both striaj 

 terminate beliind the angle, male has no thoracic emargination 

 or tbvea ; the elytra, lateral fossette reaches the base, but it is 

 shortened before the apex, 1 dorsal stria is about a fourth of 

 the elytral length, 2 half the length of the first, 3 is just 

 visible as a rudiment, there is no appendage ; the propygidium 

 is bifoveolate at the apex, with a border of scattered punctures, 

 except between the fovese, where the surface is smooth ; the 

 pygidium is rather closely punctured, the punctures varying 

 somewhat in size an<l leaving tlie posterior edge narrowly
